A Test of Violence is a 1969 BAFTA nominated British short film directed by Stuart Cooper.

Stuart Cooper's short about the work of Spanish artist Juan Genovés is an inspired introduction to the works of this extraordinary artist, exploring its minimalist aesthetic and storytelling qualities through a variety of cinematic techniques, including rostrum, animation, news footage and live action recreations.

The film went on to win awards at the Berlin, Cork, Edinburgh and Melbourne film festivals.
